You should focus on what features, improvements, goals you aim to achieve. Translating everything the current implementation does from PHP to Django without making any improvements would not be a desirable proposal. > I would really appreciate if someone can guide me in the right direction. The best way is for you to set up the current Materials Database code, get it working, and see how you would improve it. I believe the current system also integrates with Mediawiki too so that’s another consideration. Your proposal should be as details as possible. See prior year proposals for examples. You may also want to look at our mailing list archives as the materials database effort has been discussed a few times recently. Cheers!
